How we verify rules

Care agencies are inspected against the rules, so a guide that gets a rule wrong can cost you. This is exactly how we check what we publish, and what our labels mean.

  1. 1

    We start from the official text

    Every guide is built from the statute, the regulations and the regulator’s own guidance, downloaded and kept on file. We do not rely on consultants’ summaries or other websites.

  2. 2

    Every fact carries a verbatim quote

    Each fact, requirement and myth in our dataset stores the exact words from the source, the section or page, a link to the official text and the date we checked it. Our summaries are kept separate from the quotes.

  3. 3

    An automated check compares every quote to the source

    Before a page can be published, a script confirms that every quote appears word for word in the saved official text. Where a PDF table cannot be read automatically, we check it by eye and record that we did.

  4. 4

    Citations are checked at build time

    If a page cites a source or fact that is not in the dataset, the site will not build. Unverified facts can sit in our files but are never shown as fact.

  5. 5

    We date every check and track changes

    Each guide shows the date its rules were last checked. We check state registers and regulator notices for changes, and we log corrections publicly.

What our labels mean

Rule-verified means every rule on the page, and every policy mapping in the manual, has passed the checks above against the official text on the date shown. It does not mean a person with a professional credential has reviewed it.

Expert-reviewed will appear only when a named, credentialed reviewer (for example a registered nurse with agency experience or a former inspector) has signed off that jurisdiction. We will show their name, credential and the date. No guide carries this label yet.

CareRulebook provides documents and guidance, not legal advice. We do not file applications and cannot guarantee a license or registration.
